So my bike quit charging and the shop diagnosed it as a bad stator. The really bad part is that the stator is backordered until the end of August and I've been planning on leaving for a cross country trip with my girl friend in less than two weeks. I've just ordered panniers and new tires and now it all seems up in the air.

Munn is looking for a stator for me but isn't hopeful. If anyone has a spare they can spare or knows of a place that has rewound a 950 stator please share some knowledge.

There is nothing magic about the 950's stator. If it is something as simple as a short on one of the phases, a good motor shop should be able to rewind it

I was sorta thinking that myself but searching the subject here I found that no one has successfully had one rewound. I guess because it's in an oil bath? I don't know why that would make a difference and I'm with you: it should be a simple affair to have it rewound since it's just a matter of the correct wire and the right number of turns. Still I haven't done one yet and don't want to start now so I was hoping that someone knew a person who had done one since that would make it easier.

Tomorrow I'm taking the bike to a track day and I'll just keep it on a charger between sessions but that won't work on the way to Portland.

So Baja and Trail Tech can't rewind the stator - they do it on a machine that is specialized to the bikes they build them for. I asked if it could be done by hand and they said no because you couldn't get it tight enough. Hmm. I might look around some more but it seems no one has ever had one rewound so maybe there's a reason. Munn can't find one after looking for two days and I'll try the CA shops once they wake up.

Any other suggestions? I've emailed Sommer but haven't heard from them yet.

Sommer had one - well, they said it was in stock in the EU and they'd have it in two days and could ship to me. Expensive but then it's a matter of having a bike to ride or not. I guess I'll take ride. Now I hope the oil pressure switch is in stock as that seems to be failing...

does it have the white or brown connector? Idea of which phase is damaged (there are three)? Easy to check with a meter, either Digital or Analog. the reason I ask is that it might not need to be rewound, it might be a poor connection/solder joint or a bad wire in the loom coming from the stator itself.
